----- Original Message ----- From: Brenda Blake To: Tonya Luckey Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 3:49 PM Subject: Fwd: Fw: [PAFAY] Bryner - Alfred & family I dont' know too much about the Provance side of the family, but I have an Uncle Jim that lives in Dunbar. He maybe would know more. His number is in the book. The name is James Nathanial Provance. He's pretty old and not in real good health, so if she wants to call, she should do it soon. Also, he doesn't hear too well, so usually his caretaker (Kenny) sits with him and repeats the conversation for him. His father was Blaine Provance and Blaine's mother was Phoebe Bryner. There seems to be some disagreement within the family on whether Phoebe ever married the real father of Blaine or not. It is rumored that Blaine's real father was actually named Cole, but Phoebe married a Provance and gave him that name. That's about all I know.
